I just finished sending copies of the U.S. Constitution to Steny Hoyer, Nancy Pelosi, Rahm Emanuel, Harry Reid & Jay Rockefeller.
Basically, my note in each packaged said, "You should try reading this sometime" with only a slight variation on each.
It cost $6.11 each, shipped from Barnes and Noble. They had to be shipped separately obviously, but it was, for me, well worth the cost.
Here's the link/book:
The Constitution of the United States: With the Declaration of Independence and the Articles of Confederation
More below the fold...
I know it probably won't do jack shit, but I thought it was important to make a statement other than my usual fax or email rant.
Here are the addresses for these guys.

Forgot that the price I paid at B&N was at a member's price so non-members will pay 20 cents more.
Also, I was thinking there are other books that could be sent, like this:
The End of America : A Letter of Warning To A Young Patriot by Naomi Wolf

* Members Pay: $11.29
